The D0 Forward Proton Detector
Abstract
The Forward Proton Detector (FPD) is a new sub-detector of the DZero detector at the Fermilab Tevatron. The FPD is used to tag and measure protons and antiprotons, allowing access to a wide range of diffractive and elastic scattering physics. It consists of momentum spectrometers which make use of accelerator magnets along with points measured on the track of scattered protons and antiprotons to calculate their momenta and scattering angle. Tracks are measured using scintillating fiber detectors located in vacuum chambers positioned in the Tevatron tunnel 20--60 meters upstream and downstream of the central DØ detector. We will present preliminary results and an update on the FPD status.
